Hi Folks, just wondering did anyone on here ever meet or hunt with Levi Oakes, his name seems to be highly respected in border terrier circles[even on this side of the pond]. I noticed from another post that Mark P and Reef mention him id love to know more about him such as was he terrierman to any hunts or prefer to hunt solo,did he keep a big kennell and did he k.c. reg his dogs ,did he like hard dogs or sounders,did he only work his dogs on fox,did he keep a lurcher,did he shoot and what part of UK did he live in? a.t.b. Burrowman

levi wasnt a terrierman to any hunts but he did know every land owner round his part of cheshire, so had loads of digging most of which was done by ray walker ,albert radcliffe,and gordon grinley.who were probably the last ones to see levi with a spade in his hand.ifirst met levi in the early ninetys and he hadnt been digging for few years then due to ill health .by then this line was near the end of what were the best of his terriers ,too inbred

i know he tried a couple of outcross borders without any success, big shame .also ray walker should take some credit for those early borders as he bred and worked most of them.that said ive had good sport with these borders ,i outcrossed to park lakeland .i see mark p has some levi oakes borders would like to see the working peds not kc to see whats in them .not knocking his dogs just interested

u forget albert radcliff mate, him an ray walker work ther own lines albert being the one between them who had them first, him and ray struggled to find proper working borders they couldent find eny worth breed in off, they line breed them a few times, shortly they became undershot, and came with small heads, he told me they were to hard only lasting a couple of digs. they gave ther stuff to levi as he was strugglein to find good borders aswell, not manny people no that alot of levis stuff was border lakelands, which he passed as pure borders, never mind the papers because most of them was fake he put lakelands in the breed to give em a bit of size back in to them.

you keep on ray this albert that it all started with levi an a bitch called misty thats where all this hard line came from simmy danny pepper an more to mention this line started with levi owning the misty bitch trust me i spent years with levi

the introduction of the border x lakelands was after the red stag breeding if memory serves me right reef did levi ever get anything out of taffy an rosie that breeding would of turned his breeding round in a big way
